For walking on all terrains, including rocky ones, this casual sneaker serves well. The shoe is also well-priced. Just be sure to buy a slightly longer size for best fit and comfort; NB is a tight, round toe.

My son is a heavy guy and finding shoes that are supportive and the right width is challenging. He stands on his feet all day so it's important he have comfortable support, and according to him, these shoes do the job very nicely. I plan to buy him another pair when I can.

I bought them for my father for Father's Day he said it's the best pair of shoes he's ever owned. He loves them

At the time of this review, I have only worn these sneakers about 4 days so far, but so far they appear quite comfortable and the fit seems true to what is advertised.
I work retail, so I am on my feet/on the go for a majority of 8-10 hours a day on concrete floors, and these shoes offer ample support and cushioning throughout the day.
So far, these appear to be excellent shoes. I will revisit this review in about 3 months time to see how well they hold up to daily use, and update accordingly.

I don't know, as of this review, how much these shoes cost, but they are very nice leather shoes. Hubs and I went shoe shopping yesterday to get him a nice pair of dress shoes and we spent a good amount on them and they were on sale. But every man deserves at least 2 pairs of very nice dress shoes. This pair of ankle boot shoes are very well made, and the leather is gorgeous and deep brown. The soles are should last a long time and look very durable. Hubs thinks there should be one more set of eyelets, but I think the two are very attractive and stylish. I received a size 9M for review and usually he wears 9W but these shoes were a little loose on his feet. They are more like 9.5 but he can still wear them. Since they are new and stiff, he can't say they are particularly comfortable right now as they need to be broken in.

I bought some water shoes through Lands' End years ago, and their inside, next-to-the-skin portion was not nearly as smooth and comfortable as these shoes, but the construction and basic principle is the same.
These water shoes have a firm, rubber sole to protect the feet from rough ground, and they have a good grip on slippery rocks to prevent falls. These are closed-toe shoes, which means they also protect the top part of your feet and your toes.
They look, from a distance, as if they are just regular athletic shoes. However, unlike most athletic shoes, they do not use tie laces. Instead, they have an adjustible "bungee tie" system, which means your shoes will not come untied, and you can slip these shoes on and off and still have the shoe feel securely fastened.
These shoes have holes for draining water and a mesh construction on the upper part which both releases water and dries quickly when you return to land. Note that these shoes are "water ready" but not waterproof. They will definitely get wet.
As to size, if you will for some reason be wearing socks, then you might want to go up a half size from your normal size. These shoes are meant to be worn without socks.
These shoes would be perfect for wading in the ocean or a river or stream. They would be great for rafting, inner-tubing, or boating in general.
The color is a masculine charcoal with yellow trim, and they are technically made for men. However, if a woman knows her comparable size in men's shoes, I don't see why a woman could not wear these as well.
The price is rather steep for what these are, and that might give some people pause. I'd recommend shopping around and comparing prices before you decide on these.

I purchased these for a recent vacation to The Mid Gulf Coast of Texas. They were so comfortable, couldn't tell I had them on. The footbed gives just the right amount of support. I wore them fo 18 hrs several days.

These sneakers are leather, with the exception of the bottom. You will think they are dirty at first or have been worn previously, but that is how they are manufactured. If you look at the top pictures for the product, you can see that the color of the sneaker is also smudged on the rubber portion and on the bottom of the sole. This is a design element. The leather is nice and they are comfortable.

Surprisingly well fitting sneakers. I take a womens 10/11 or a mens 9. I always need wide width (genetic bunions, yay), so I wasn't sure how these would fit. When they arrived, I thought no way would they fit. They looked super narrow and small. Optical illusion as they went on no problem, and fit my feet well. Somehow makes my feet look narrow, too.
They have a sock like opening & upper. Stretchy but secure feeling. I wouldn't call it a lace up sneaker as there is no tongue. There is really no need for the laces, but it does provide some ability to adjust how it fits along the top portion. Just know that you can't make it tighter at the top near opening.
They do look exactly like in the pictures.
They feel secure on the feet. The insert is cushiony, almost provides a bit of a bounce. Has a slight arch, so if you have high arches or walk more on your sides, then this may exacerbate that. I have high arches but it doesn't feel too off. I was able to wear them all day around the house doing chores and felt comfortable enough. At some point I thought it could use more cushion.
They are a light weight sneaker, yet the sole is sturdy. I haven't gone on a walk with these yet, so I am not sure how they do in that regard (but will update). They were comfortable and sturdy enough for around the house and basic errands.
A lot better than anticipated.
